 The problem with all of these services are that only very small amounts of bitcoin can be purchased at one time.

 Unfortunately, it’s not my level of concern at the moment as I can’t afford purchasing large stacks anyways…

 Completely understandable. 
But some people cash out their 401(k), or even purchase large amount of bitcoin inside a 401(k) , or are otherwise independently wealthy, and for such situations it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find KYC-free methods of purchase.

 Yeah... In those cases it's going to be hard. On the other hand, nobody prevents you from spamming Robosats and Bisq with $2k buy order at a reasonable premium 😂 You'll have to spend a few days managing all these orders and transferring fiat to many people, but I would say there's no conceptual limitation 😂

 Also, afaik, Bisq has no limits for buying/selling Bitcoin (depends on the payment method though), so technically you could buy/sell corn within 0.1-1 BTC (insanely high amounts for me, some people can apparently afford it).

 I think going above this level of stacking bears serious risks anyways, regardless of KYC or not. So breaking down the fiat stack and purchasing small portions of corn sounds like a reasonable alternative to me.
